|
- Mini Pie Base: Blend ingredients and then press a base layer into the silicon paper cupcake moulds (or you can use other small glass/ceramic containers).
- Lemon Layer: Blend Cashews until ground into a flour-like consistency.
- Lemon Layer: Blend ground Cashews, Coconut Cream and Coconut Oil until smooth.
- Lemon Layer: Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Optional Topping: Add thinly sliced fresh Lemon pieces and sprinkle Lemon Zest on top.
- Optional: Allow to set in fridge for 15 min+.
*You can enjoy straight away or put in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to set for a more mousse-like consistency.
*Eat within 1-2 days
*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:
-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove
-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.
- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.
-Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative.
-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water.
-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).
